A routine trash pickup took a shocking turn Wednesday afternoon in Canoga Park when a woman was discovered inside a garbage truck. At approximately 2:10pm on February 11, 2026, a trash truck driver was servicing dumpsters along his route in the alley of the 7200 block of Topanga Canyon Boulevard. According to the driver, he inspected a dumpster before emptying it into his truck, confirming it appeared to contain only trash. After dumping the contents into the truck, the driver paused before activating the truck’s compactor, a decision that likely prevented serious injury. Moments later, he looked up and saw a woman standing on top of the pile of trash inside the truck. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the scene as a technical rescue. Firefighters worked to safely remove the woman from the truck. During the incident, the woman placed a bucket over her head and later threw it down, nearly striking a firefighter below. Crews were able to assist her down from the truck without injury. However, before paramedics could conduct a medical evaluation, the woman ran off into a nearby alley. It remains unclear how long she had been inside the dumpster prior to pickup or what circumstances led to the incident.
